The following obituary was written
by an intimate friend of the late Nelson
W. St. John, who lives in Kirksville
and was present at his death, and sent
to the EVENING GAZETTE for publication:
“Nelson W. St. John died at the resi-
dence of Mrs. James E. Tull, Kirksville,
Mo. May 11, 1896, aged 28 years. Mr.
St. ohn was born in the city of Brook-
lyn and when but a child his parents
moved to Connecticut. Here he grew
to manhood and became an engraver of
metal. Some three years ago he began
to have lung trouble and for relief he
went to California where he spent
several months. . Not receiving the
benefit he desired he returned home
and in October last went _to Florida.
Finding the climate not suited to him
he came to Kirksville thinking, per-
haps, osteopathy as practised by Dr.
A. T. Still might help him. But this
dreadful disease had so thoroughly
permeated his system that there was no
[helpfor him except to make hislast
.days as restful as possible, which was
done by kind and sympathetic friends
and especially Mrs. Tull wrth whom he
made his home. His brother, Mr. A.
‘P. W. St. John of Nerwich, Conn, was ‘
with him to the last and. took the re-
:mainstorhis, far aWay New England
kind wishes of a host of friends gained
during his short stay. A brief service
by Rev. Canfield of the Episcopal
church 'was held at his boarding house
at 10 o’clock p. m. attended by a large
number of friends and students from
the School of Osteopathy, nearly all of
whom followed the remains to the train
and with tender, sorrowing hearts bade
the bereaved brother farewell as he de-
parted on his lonely journey."
O
HIS HEART DISLOCATED.
sum... to Find It with
. the X Rays.
A good story is going around the
campus of the University of Chicago.-
On a recent Saturday afternoon while
Prof.- Stratton, of the department of
physics, together with an assistant, was
busy working over the anode-cathode-X-
ray problem, and incidentally wonder-
ing whether Chicago was beating
Ilinois—his alma mater—down at Cham-
paign, a timid knock was heard at the
laboratory doOr. The knocker was told
to enter the sanctum, the floor of which
Wes strewn with the debris of tubes
which had been tested and found want-
ing. - -
When the professor looked up from
his work he beheld a middle-aged man,
who appeared to be of the laboring
class.~ He was accompanied by afriend.
He anxiously inquired whether he had
reached the place where the X rays
were dispensed free of charge. He was
told there waisrnorie on tap, but a. new
consignment was looked for every min-
ute from which great results were ex-
pected. The questioner then told a pa-
thetic tale of: how he was suffering
from “dislocation of the heart,” and
Wished the “new light” turned on to as-
certain the exact whereabouts of that
body. He was told that nothing could
be done—his case. was far too serious
to be experimented upon. The poor
fellow left the room with a. look of dis-
appointment on his honest face and was
last seen slowly wending his way to-
ward the Illinois Central.
NEEDLESSLY ALARMED.
But Matters Looked for a. Moment Far
from Hopeful.
“At a. theater where the seats are not
numbered and to which I had gone
early to get a good scat,” said a man,
“I found just the seat I wanted, in the
fourth row from the front. In the seat
,inpfront of me in the front row,‘sa-t a.
man; the seat immediately back of him
was vacant, and the seat back of that
and directly in front of me was occu-
pied by a small boy, sitting between his
father and mother; so that besides a
good location, I had an unobstructed
view, which 'was one of the things I
had in mind in choosing the seat. Of
course, I had to take the chances on the
vacant seat, but the chances were at
least even that it would be occupied by
a man, and if it was taken by a woman
there was a chance that she would not
wear a. big hat.
“When the theater filled up that seat
was taken by a. woman, and she had on a
hat which would have covered the
grass plot in front of a. house in the
suburbs, and there grew upon it flowers
and things as tall as the hollyhocks in
the front yard of a. house in the coun-
try.
“But she had no sooner taken the seat
than she raised her hands and lifted
the hat off; my view was quite unob‘
structed after all, and I felt that I had
reason to be grateful.”

Strange Conduct of the Husband of
the N, w York Suicide.
THE PUZZLE-FULLY SOLVED.
’Mrs. Everett of Boston” \Vas Unques-
tionably Mrs. Hill of London—The
Body Has Been- Turned Over to the
, Dead Woman's Father-in—law.
LONDON, May 21.—Senor E. E. Zerega,
die mandolin performer and theatrical
agent of 152 Brampton road, this city,
who is said to be identical with Edgar F.
Hill, the husband of Mrs. Mary D. Hill,
the woman who committed suicide by
shooting herself with a revolver-st the
Celonnade, hotel, New York, on May's, re-
fuses to say anything in addition to, his
original statement. Zerega, or Bill, is
said to be a son of Judge Ralph Hill, of
the [law firm of Lamb, Hill & Dye of In-
dianapolis, and Mrs. Hill, who registered
at the Colonnade hotel as “Mrs. Everett
of Boston,” is reported to be a daughter
of Colonel John A. Keith Of Columbus,
- Ind.
Zerega said: “My wife went to New
York -on April 4 for an extended visit.
There has been no quarrel between us, and
I know of no possible reason for her to
commit suicide. ‘1 think there must have
been a mistake, although I have not heard
from my wife for some. time. I believe she
has been stopping at the Continental ho-
tel, New Yer a”
The next night Zerega took part in a
mandolin and guitar concert at the Chel-
sea town hall.
He lives in a. small house, but seems to
be quite prosperous. His servant refused
to admit a representative of the press who
called today to ask Zerega to explain his
reasons for throwing doubt upon the iden-
tity of the Colonnade hotel suicide. The
servant explained that she had orders not
to speak on the subject.-
” Zerega’s Advertisement.
Inquiries made at Chappells’ Musical
agency shows that on Monday last Zerega
left there an advertisement for the season
which shows a group of four women and
four men. One of the former is believed
to be a cut of Mrs. Zerega and resembles
to some degree the cuts in the New York
papers depicting “Mrs. Everett of Bos-
ton.”
The advertisement reads:
“Zerega's Spanish Troubadours and
Dancers can accept engagements for recep-
tions and garden parties.”
The advertisement also contains ex-
tracts from The Court Circular of Aug. 19
and 23, the dates when the Spanish-
Troubadours appeared before the queen
at Osborne, isle of Wight.
The Chappells say they have known
Zerega- for two years and are certain that
he is a Spaniard, and not an American.
This would seem to show that there may
have been some mistake in identifying
him as E. E. Hill of Indianapolis, and
consequently it would seem to throw some
doubt upon the identity of “Mrs. Everett
of Boston.”
The Chappells add that, so far as they
know, relations between Zerega and his
wife were pleasant. They did not know,
however, that she was absent from London.
Further inquiries show that a short time
ago a‘case containing musical instruments
wasreeeived at Zerega’s house from New
York.
The police authorities of Scotland Yard
and the officials of the United States em-
bassy here have not heard anything ofii-
clally about the strange case of “Mrs. Ev-
erett of Boston.” Zerega positively de-
clines to throw any light upon the matter
and is certainly not acting like a man who
has suddenly lost his wife in a most tragic
manner. '
“Fauconniere” Skips Out.
NEW YORK, May 21.-—-A postal card was
received at the coroners’ office today di-
rected “Mr. The Coroner, Criminal Court
Building.” The writing was in pencil
and was signed “Fauconniere.” This is
the message: “Sir—I am leaving for Phil-
adelphia, Pa; will have mail P. O. sta-
tion A. I told what I know of the wom-
an. I had purposed only to be present
her burial day, and I came here only for
that purpose. Thank God, would I were
mistaken!” Judge Hill and his friends
came to the coroner’s ofiicc today, signed
their affidavits and received their papers
from Coroner Dobbs, giving Judge Hill
possession of the body of the suicide, Mrs.
E. E. Hill, and her effects. The body is
to be cremated by 'Undertaker Malone,
and the ashes shipped to Columbus, Ind. .

(FUNCTIONWOF THE SPLEENQ‘ l
It is a Kind 0: Safety Valve to the Blood
- Circulation.
The spleen, of old, writes ‘ Dr. Andrew
Wilson in, the Illustrated London News, '
formed an organ which puzzled the
classic physiologists. It did not seem
to manufacture any secretion, like the
liver or sweet-bread; and they knew,
as we do tO-day, that removal Of the
organ is not necessarily attended by
much disturbance of the vital func-
tions—a. fact due to the duties of the
missing spleen.- being laid on the shoul-
ers of other organs, most probably the
lymphatic gland-SA The spleen is un- j
donbtedly a. blood gland. It is the seat
of manufacture of the corpuscles of
the blood, red and white, and it no doubt
also disposes of the old rolling stock
of the bloOd, dissolving and disintegrat- '
ing the wornout corpuscles. Addition-
al» evidence regarding the spleen has
been supplied by Prof. Schafer, F. R. S'.,
and Mr. B. Moore. They have proved
that the spleen acts as a. kind of safety
valve to the blood circulation, and it
responds at once to all variations in
the blood pressure, whether these vari-
ations are from heart or lungs. It is
an organ which shows rythmical con~
tractions, and would appear to be a.
kind of delicate. governor, analagous’
in its nature to the self-acting mechan-
ism of that name in the steam engine.
ARMY BAND INSTRUMENTS.
Would Cost the British Government 81,-
000,000 to Change Their Pitch.
The BritiISh army bands use the high
pitch, the queen’s regulations running
as follows: “In order to insure uni-
formity throughout the regimental
bands of the service the instruments
are to be of the same pitch. as that
adopted by the Philharmonic society.
The Philharmonic society has recently '.
decided to adopt the lower pitch, and,
accordingly, the queen’s regulations
, will doubtless have tobe amended. It
is estimated by competent authority
that the cost of altering the instru-
ments of the army bands to the lower
pitch would amount to between £ 200,-
000 and £300,000; but it is more than
doubtful if any chancellor of the ex-
chequer would spend so large a. sum for
such a purpose.

Railway Stations in Russia.
. It is a. peculiarity of the Russian rail-
ways that their stations are generally
two miles distant from the towns and
villages which they serve. This is said
to be on account of the danger of fire,

ing thatched with straw.
